Labels

It's cliche, I know... but... We have to step up. I know we're nervous, or scared, or hesitant for a million reasons. But we have to push through that. So many stay silent and just let the hate continue.

But if you want people to be drawn to you, if you want to be popular for the right reasons, do something that sets you apart. Don't stay silent. Intervene at that moment, despite your hesitation. Or go talk to someone who can help afterward.

If it's happening online, formally report it as "abuse" to the site or social network, and help the person to use the privacy settings or blocks or filters to control who is able to message them or post to their profiles.

I'm just tired of being given labels. I am me and no one can change that. I just wish that I'd have figure that out before it was too late.
